Let us attend to Our Beloved

Beauty awakens the soul to act.

And our next move is to love.

We’ve been invited but we have not shown up.

Without the pressure of beauty, we’re left flaccid,

gasping like fish out of water.

Without a soul sewn into mind, without a heart stitched into breast,

we are an empty shirt on a hanger, only half-dressed and unready for anything.

Without the push of beauty, we are slack-jawed and dull-eyed.

But with the push of beauty, we are awakened and alive.

We do not need to be filled up or fed—

we are already full and well-fed.

Without the push of beauty, we are slack-jawed and dull-eyed.

But with the push of beauty, we are awake and alive.
